    I checked in here on Thursday to stay before an early morning flight Friday morning. I was disappointed with the long wait to get a room, I did appreciate being able to check in with the kiosk using just my ID. Cool feature to not wait in the ridiculous line. I checked in and didn't get a text with a room being ready for a little over 2 hours. The employees are your typical Vegas employees, customer service and friendliness is kind of non existent but that genuinely seems to be everywhere in Vegas. The room was really nice and clean, the bed was really comfortable and the AC worked great. As you can see in the pics, the rooms have been remodeled and I really love the touch of the lights under the bed. My only complaint is the sunshade on the window wouldn't roll up once it got halfway, which obstructed the view of the ugly construction site next door. The view of the stadium will be really cool though once it's completely built so it would have sucked if there was actually something cool to look at outside. The bathroom was huge, and the shower was probably one of the best hotel showers I've ever used! We had 3 of us staying in this room and didn't at all feel crammed even when 2 of us were trying to get ready in the bathroom at the same time. The location was perfect for us, I liked being right next to the food court on the strip and close to the target & in-n-out that recently opened. The hotel itself was a little underwhelming in comparison to New York New York right across the street, but at least if you want to go see a cool, fun hotel you can walk across the street. Would I stay here again? Probably. However, I typically travel with kids (one of them being young) so I think I might go for a hotel that has a little more fun things to offer and that's more visually appealing.

    I've stayed here before and like many casinos service has gone down. We checked in at 6pm and room was not ready. Finally got to the room at 6:45pm and at least the room seemed newly remodeled from what I remember the room looking like before. Bed was comfy, AC was working especially since it as 110 outside, bathroom very spacious. Casino was busy, lots of options for gambling and good variety of places to eat from nice restaurants to casual ones. Cocktail waitresses were few and far between and took forever. That's one way to make you keep gambling while waiting for your drink. Location is good since it's on the strip and walkable to many restaurants.

    I've stayed at the MGM Grand several times and haven't had a bad experience. Especially since the price is usually within my budget. I was lucky to book a room for only $39/night. What a deal!! Except the resort fee kicks in at $50/night added on SMH. I remember the good ol days when resort fees weren't a thing! Nonetheless the price was still very reasonable for a 3 night stay during the weekday. I originally booked the studio room, but my friend decided to join me. I was able to upgrade for $13 more a night to the newly renovated King room and scored a strip view. Well some of the strip at least on the 19th floor. The room was pretty clean, except the shower wasn't as clean as it should have been. There's a mini bar and extra mini fridge to put your drinks in. Loved that addition! The room also includes a safe for personal items. The bed was pretty cozy and there wasn't too much noise from the floor we stayed on. Overall, a decent room to stay in. Parking was only $20 for my friend! I was expecting it to be $40 but it was a nice surprise that she only got charged for one day. What I love about this casino is the lazy river pool! One of the best in Vegas. I recommend you get there early. Like around 9:40am because the line starts to form around that time. The pool opens at 10am. There's a limited number of lounge chairs so it pays to get there early. Pro Tip: Bring your own inner tube and take it to the area where they sell them. They will blow it up for free! Much cheaper than buying one for $25 - $30. I also like the convenience of the monorail here. Buy a ticket online for only $13 and for 24 hours you can ride it up and down the strip to several locations. It stops as far as the Sahara and goes back to MGM. This will save your feet from walking miles and miles.

    I stayed at the MGM Grand for a conference. It's the closest hotel to the airport, about 25 minutes by cab. It isn't as luxurious like Bellagio or Venetian. Get your MGM Rewards app before you arrive so you can skip the line and check in at the lobby kiosk. Room is comfortable, I don't like the no coffee machine policy in Las Vegas hotels. This one didn't have room slippers unlike the other hotels in Vegas I stayed at this month. The view from my room was not facing the strip but overlooking the back of the hotel Beds are comfortable and room amenities are standard. We ate at the conference and once had lunch at the Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak which was awesome. I don't understand why connecting the MGM Rewards to my Marriott Bonvoy is so complicated that I haven't figured it out yet.

    Let me start by saying this was my very first trip to Las Vegas, so everything felt like a new experience. I honestly wasn't prepared for just how massive the MGM Grand is. It felt like a shopping mall, casino, hotel, and entertainment venue all wrapped into one. I spent the first part of my stay walking around like a kid in a candy store because I couldn't believe how much there was to see. In fact, if I had decided not to leave the hotel at all during my trip, I probably would've been perfectly happy. Between the restaurants, shopping, Starbucks, casino, pool, and everything else the property offers, there's more than enough to keep you entertained without ever stepping outside. My room was comfortable, clean, and had a beautiful view. Nothing overly extravagant, but it had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. One of my favorite parts of the trip was definitely the pool. Since my room wasn't ready when I arrived (which was understandable because I got there pretty early), I spent the afternoon poolside, and honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to wait. I also want to give a special shout-out to one of the pool servers--I believe her name was Micheline (I apologize if I'm misspelling it). She was incredibly kind, attentive, and patient with everyone, even though the pool area was very busy. Great customer service always stands out to me, and she made the experience even better. Naturally, I had to enjoy a few vacation drinks while I was there. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian, a Piña Colada, and a Miami Vice (a strawberry daiquiri and piña colada combined), and let's just say... I was fully embracing vacation mode. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is the check-in process. I completely understand this is an enormous resort with thousands of guests coming and going, but the check-in experience felt a little hectic. If that process could be streamlined a bit, it would make an already great stay even better. Other than that, I truly have no complaints. The location is fantastic, the amenities are endless, and for my first trip to Las Vegas, I really do think I picked the perfect hotel. I would absolutely stay here again.

    I have never been more disappointed by a Las Vegas hotel stay than I was at the MGM Grand. We booked through a credit card program that promised an elevated luxury experience. Unfortunately, the stay fell far short of those expectations. The one positive aspect was that we were able to check in very early on our arrival day. The front desk agent also told us we were receiving a corner room upgrade. However, the room was not what most people would consider a corner room. While it was the last room in the hallway, there was only one window overlooking the stadium construction site, with a stairwell on the other side. The room itself was clean and adequate, but nothing about it felt upgraded or special. We were assigned to the Studio Tower, which felt dated and noticeably less maintained than other parts of the property. Another disappointment was housekeeping. We returned to our room after being gone for several hours and found it had not been serviced. When I called the front desk, I was told rooms are no longer cleaned unless guests specifically request service. While hotels can certainly adopt whatever policies they choose, this was never communicated to us and was unexpected at a property marketed as a luxury experience. All of that was manageable until checkout day. At approximately 9:45 a.m., after returning from breakfast, our room key stopped working. This was stressful because we needed to pack, shower, and leave by 11:00 a.m. for an appointment. I went downstairs and found a very long line at the front desk. While waiting, I texted the hotel representative who had contacted me upon arrival and told me to reach out if I needed anything. She advised me to find a shorter VIP line for assistance. Following that advice turned out to be a mistake. I found what appeared to be a separate service line and approached the desk after the guest ahead of me finished. I explained that my key had stopped working and that I had been directed there by the hotel representative. The front desk employee immediately and rather rudely informed me that I was standing in an exit area and would need to return to the main line. I explained the situation, including my time constraints and the fact that I only needed a quick key reset, but she repeatedly told me to get back in the long line. I then asked a simple question: whether she was actually capable of resolving the key issue. Rather than answer, she continued repeating that I needed to stand in the other line. We went in circles several times before she simply walked away. It was one of the most frustrating customer service interactions I have experienced at a major hotel. At that point, we were genuinely concerned that we would not make it back to our room in time. The front desk line had grown even longer, and waiting in it would likely have delayed our departure. We noticed several kiosk stations and attempted to use them, but they requested a QR code we did not have. As a last resort, I downloaded and logged into the MGM app. After locating my reservation information, I discovered the app contained a digital room key that immediately solved the problem. What was most frustrating is that neither the hotel representative who had been texting me nor the front desk employee ever mentioned this option. A simple suggestion to use the digital key would have saved us significant time, stress, and frustration. By the time we finally regained access to our room, we only had enough time to pack and leave. We departed feeling relieved to be checking out rather than wishing we could stay longer. Overall, I would not stay at the MGM Grand again, nor would I be inclined to book another MGM property based on this experience. If you are considering this hotel through a luxury travel or credit card program, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere unless your goal is to be thoroughly underwhelmed.

    Stayed in a tower studio during July 4th weekend and was impressed as I hadn't stayed here since I was a kid. This property is huge but convenient. Theres entertainment, amenities, nightlife and lots of food options both for the budget wallet and splurging. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable and I appreciated the dessert /mid century / Palm Springs theme. The elevators were dated but they worked well and although the room was small it was perfect for 2 people to rest and get ready in. I hate that vegas charges for parking now, I wish they could allow complimentary self parking for hotel guests overnight. Also using their app for digital key/check in was convenient.

    This place is so massive!!! I love the decorations featuring lions. The pool is gigantic too! Many moments in music, sports, and entertainment history occurred here. Big Bang shot a music video here!

    I came here for a staycation and had a really nice experience overall. When you check in, there's a bar that offers complimentary drinks, which is a great touch. The rooms are modern and well-designed. My bed even had under-lighting, which looked cool--but I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, At night time so that was a bit frustrating. We ordered room service one day, and it arrived in about 40 minutes--not bad at all. The food was amazing. The fruit was incredibly fresh, and the yogurt bowl was honestly one of the best I've ever had. I've low-key been trying other places just to find something that comes close to that yogurt bowl--it was that good!

    I'll always love MGM. I've had incredible memories here throughout the last 20 years with friends and family that I'll never forget. They have one of the best pools, and endless food options. I've seen UFC fighters here, concerts and more! It's a one stop shop for entertainment! Parking is kind of a headache but staff is always positive and willing to help! I've been a pearl member for years and always look forward to visiting any and all mgm properties.

    My pride and joy!

    Vegas is an absolute "must stop" on the way back from the Grand Canyon. It's the perfect spot to relax, eat, and enjoy entertainment after exploring the remote, quiet desert. And what better way to end our family road trip than by staying at the premier MGM Grand Las Vegas. This hotel is massive- featuring a huge casino floor, 6.5 acre pool complex, with a lazy river, top tier dining restaurants and endless entertainment! The property offered modern, newly renovated, and comfortable rooms. Prices are reasonable compared to other hotels $$$. Self-check-in was made easy via the MGM mobile app. And parking was easily accessible. Overall, the property and its rooms were clean, spacious and very restful. At one point, the cable in our room was not working properly. Maintenance responded within 20 minutes. They not only fixed the problem, but gave us a $100 voucher to any of their dining options. Now that's customer service 100X!!!

    I booked a 4-night stay through the MGM Rewards app for Christmas, from Dec 24-28, 2025. Using the app was super easy , fast check in, digital key, and all the account info at my fingertips. I also really liked that I could park at any hotel in the MGM system, which made getting around much more convenient. In terms of price, it was slightly higher than other booking sites like Expedia. However, since I was bringing my dog with me, the app made it clear that pets were allowed and what the fees would be. On Expedia, that option wasn't available, and I didn't want to risk calling back and forth trying to confirm. I'd rather pay a bit more and know exactly what I'm getting than deal with hidden fees or unclear pet policies. My room was clean and comfortable. One odd thing: around midnight on Dec 24, I got a call saying my door wasn't fully closed. After a long day of driving, it felt a little unsettling. I double checked with the front desk and it was real, but waking up to that wasn't fun. Also, while the hotel has designated smoking areas, some people were smoking in the elevators, which I didn't like. Overall, the stay was fine. The app made check in easy, the room was clean, and bringing a dog was straightforward. Just a couple of odd moments, but nothing that ruined the trip.

    Cane for a large leadership meeting. The hotel is nice, they still allow smoking in the casino and you have to walk through it to get anywhere... yuck!! It reeked in here if cigaret smoke. The walk from my room to the convention center was 1 mile. That is not a joke... it was a mile! I had to go back and forth several times a day so needless to say I got my steps. I just wish I had worn more comfortable shoes for the hike! The convention facilities were good. Big, well done, all the services were great, audio visual, the food, the staff... all top notch. The walk to the convention from my room was past all the shops, places to eat, and events. There were several things I wish I had had time to do... it alas it was all work and no play for me from 7am to 10pm and with the time change I was beat every day! The place was clean! Strike that... it was immaculate! The staff was very nice. And I even found a new shirt while I was there in one of the shops. However done buy a coffee at the Starbucks... a grande caramel was 9$ and a water from the shop was 7! Things were very high price here. The main bar didn't even offer a non alcoholic beer of any kind. It was a good meeting though and it was handled well.

    Ask the Community - MGM Grand

    What are some good restaurants that are recommended in the MGM?

    Emeril's New Orleans Fish House - Creole-inspired seafood by Emeril Lagasse. Morimoto Las Vegas -… 

    Is this Smoke free?

    No. The only smoke-free casino on the strip is Park MGM.

    U guys don't server alcohol here?

    Yes they do. They are the only hotel licensed to serve and sell liquor on the premises.

    Do they have a safe in the room?

    Yes , a small safe is in the room.

    Does the hotel still have ice machines?

    Yes. One ice machine on each floor.

    Swimming pool complex. Is the pool clean? Bacteria count etc?

    We swam in two of their pools and the lazy river, myself and my 8 year old. We had no illness or issues. It was a very busy weekend.

    Are they 420 friendly?

    People smoking blunts and pipes right in the official smoking/pet relief area outside the lobby entrance to the right. Some rocks to sit on a lot of homeless in the area. I recommend level 5 of parking garage behind elevators

    Is there a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel?

    There is not. In fact, many of the hotels in the surrounding area, including MGM do not offer this. However, they can help arrange pickup and drop off for a fee. You can check their mail website for more details

    Excalibur have fridge inside the room?

    No, they do not.

    How long does I take to walk from MGM to Mandalay Bay convention and how to use the tram to get there?

    From the MGM grand, cross Las Vegas Blvd using the overpass bridge to NY NY. Walk to Excalibur to catch the tram to Mandalay Bay.

    Are there any Coffee makers in the rooms?

    No that I remember , fridges have a $35 per day rental fee as well

    Can 6 people stay in one room?

    Fridges will cost $35 a day so a cooler with ice might be your best alternative if that's not an option… 

    How is the air conditioning in the rooms?

    It barely works! We could not sleep properly because we couldn't get the room to cool below 70. Super uncomfortable.

    How is the self parking? Easily accessible and is there plenty of it for hotel guests not just daily visitors?

    It is easily accessible and there is plenty of it. It does get packed to the point you might have to drive around for a bit, but you will find a spot.

    Is the pool open month of December 2020?

    The entire pool area and all amenities located within the pool area are closed.

    How much is required to be put on your debit/credit card for incidentals? And how long does it take for the money to be credited back?

    $100 per night. Don't know how long you get it takes to get back.

    Are the pools currently open? If not, does anyone know when they will be opening?

    Be sure you are in line by 730 am or zero shot at getting in the pool. Oh and cant get coffee anywhere til 8 am, but if you leave to go get coffee, cant get back in the pool area. Terrible!

    When will the pool be open for the 2020 season? Also I've heard rumors of a new theme? Is it still Wet Republic?

    We just stayed in January 2020 and the large pool closest to pool check-in and the jacuzzi tub were open from 9-4 daily. It may be open longer on weekends. The pool water was warm and very pleasant. We were by ourselves or with two other people in… 

    What rooms are in the 200.00 range?

    Depends on the day I've never paid over $100 for any night staying there.

    Is the room service buffalo wings good?

    The best!!!!!

    I have heard so many good things about the Cosmo and finally got to stay here!…read more We were able to get a fountain view room and it's definitely worth the upgrade if you make the swing for it. Service was fairly friendly and the room was nice. The property has a lot of amenities for both fine dining and more affordable options with the infamous Block 16 for food area. I will say it's a good place to stay if you want to be in all the action of the strip and it also a chique lively atmosphere. But if want a more laid back experience you may want to stay more on the north/south end of the strip or something like Vdara.

    Unsafe balconies beware…read more Per security direct quote: "this happens at least once every three months". My experience at this hotel was extremely concerning because of a serious safety issue with the balcony door. I stepped onto the balcony, and when the door closed behind me, it locked, leaving me trapped outside. It was approximately 110°F. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and was able to call for help. Had I not had my phone, this could have become a dangerous situation very quickly. When I reported the issue to the manager, rather than showing concern, she was condescending and made me feel as though I had somehow caused the problem. I specifically told her that I did not believe another guest should be placed in that room until the balcony door was repaired because it was unsafe. I had paid extra for a room with a balcony, yet I could not safely use it for the remainder of my stay. Because I was traveling for work and had a very demanding schedule, changing rooms at the last minute was also extremely difficult. I just chose not to use the balcony anymorez What bothered me even more was being told that if I filed a formal safety report, they would not be able to refund the additional amount I had paid for the balcony. That placed me in an unacceptable ethical position: either report a legitimate safety hazard so another guest would not be placed at risk, or remain silent in order to receive a refund. Of course, I chose to report the safety issue. After considerable discussion, I was eventually refunded approximately $130 related to the balcony charge. However, the way the situation was handled--particularly the manager's dismissive and condescending attitude--was unacceptable. I would not stay at this hotel again. Even if my work required travel to the same area, I would choose another property.

    First stay at The Venetian -- and definitely not our last…read more This was our first time staying at The Venetian, and overall, we had a really great experience. We were in Las Vegas for a concert at the Sphere, and one of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the convenience. Being able to walk through the resort and get around without relying on Ubers was a huge plus, especially on a busy concert night. Check-in was smooth, the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We were also upgraded, which was a very nice surprise. The highlight had to be the view of the Sphere from our room -- absolutely perfect for the concert we were attending. The Venetian is an experience in itself. The resort is massive, beautifully designed, and there's plenty to explore without even having to leave the property. For us, the ability to walk around, grab something to eat or drink, explore the resort, and head to the Sphere without worrying about transportation made the stay that much more enjoyable. We typically stay at MGM properties when we're in Vegas, so trying The Venetian was a change of pace for us. Based on this first experience, I'm glad we gave it a shot. Friendly staff, clean rooms, unexpected upgrade, an incredible Sphere view, and an extremely convenient location for a concert. We'll definitely be back. The Venetian has officially earned another Vegas stay from us.

    I get the hype for this hotel now. They've literally got it all here! You'll never be bored and you…read morewon't have a need to leave the resort. From delicious food choices to great entertainment and a clean casino, I was a happy camper. I also loved their hotel rooms! We stayed in a regular room which I've heard all rooms are suites. It had a dedicated living room which I loved and the bathrooms were huge. This truly felt like a vacation to me. The best part is it is walking distance to the Sphere, so if you're going to a show at the Sphere, staying here is ideal as it's conveniently located to it. Only con was the price of the parking during your stay.

    This is the first time staying here and I am really pleased!…read more The staff at check in and valet are super friendly! The lobby is gorgeous. Lots of Raiders memorabilia. ( I'm a fan....so ) but wait!... the scent as you walk in, very slightly there, and I can't even name it, but it's PERFECT. We got a room facing the strip for the night lights, however the sunrise was the real show stopper. There are some really comfy chairs to sit right at the floor to ceiling window to take it all in ... or you can see it from the comfort of your bed. What was missing was a coffee maker and robes in the room. I like to have a cup when I wake up. We are not big gamblers, more people watchers, so we walked through the casino. I did not notice one cocktail waitress on the floor. Is this a new thing? A few ( and only a few) people had drinks. The bathroom is spacious and has all the things!!! I love a tub in a hotel and this tub is the perfect size and angle to lay your head back for the ultimate soak. There is a tv screen in the mirror for your morning news or music videos.... Or a window shade that can go up or down for privacy or to look directly through the room out to that view I mentioned. Ahhh. If you come, be sure to visit baby cakes ( they're in house sweets shop- conveniently located on your way to the elevators ) for gelato or ultimate baked deliciousness or coffee drinks omg it's dangerous.... Overall, a lovely hotel off the strip ( but close enough) at a great price. We will return!

    I went to M for a concert and was greatly disappointed in the whole experience…read more I understand that M is not entirely responsible for every aspect of the concert experience but there are a few things worth mentioning. I'll start with the parking and the way traffic was directed. For this specific concert it was very confusing, and the lack of signage did not help. Getting out of the parking garage was the most difficult and it took about 30 minutes. Also, when the concert was announced online, there was no mention that it would be held at the pool. So this concert was held by the pool in 107° weather and it was not fun at all. I could be wrong about this, but the band only played 1 hour 20 minutes and I think it's because it was so darn hot. And I was not happy about this at all. If I was overheating being in the audience, I can't even imagine how much hotter it was up on stage with the lights, smoke, leather pants... lol. So in the future, if there is a concert held at the M I would make sure to research and make sure that it's not at the pool in summer. So basically, I paid $175 per ticket to go see a band at the pool totally not worth it especially since they only played less than two hours. For those who wanna know I saw Stone Temple Pilots and unfortunately it was not worth my time or money. After this experience, not only will I probably never go to the M resort to see a concert, but I also will never again go and see Stone Temple Pilots. If you're gonna pay almost $200 per ticket and spend three hours of your time preparing and driving there you gotta at least give me two hours of your time for it to be worth what you're charging. The other thing I want to mention is the security guards and customer service staff weren't very efficient in crowd control. People were just gathering right in front of us who paid $175 for their tickets and it took about 30 minutes to get all these clowns out of the way so the rest of us could enjoy the concert. In my personal opinion this might've been one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and it really left a bad taste in my mouth concerning STP. Sadly I believe STP died the day the original front man died. RIP Scott Weiland. You are greatly missed.

    We're BILT members. My husband vaguely remembered we had VIP access. I asked at the concierge and…read morethey assured me we did not have it. But we looked it up later and we did. So it's kinda weird the concierge is not completely knowledgeable, but maybe it's unfair for me to expect them to know my own details. It's not like there are other BILT members out there or anything. I think we missed out on some "freebies" and feeling VIP or whatever. Regardless, Cherry, who checked us in, did a very good job at recommending places and explaining everything for our stay with our perks; and there was a lot of explaining. When I looked back, there was a line of 20 people. I watched some Youtube reviews on Fontainebleu and there was a perfume smell...to help mask the cigarette smell. The roses were real, which was nice. Some parts of the hotel were already falling apart/broken. I was hoping for the smell of fresh air...which is why I stayed in a Las Vegas casino. I liked the hallway to our room...it got more narrow towards the end. The room itself was O.K. One room had a tray for your keys and the other didn't. The view from one room was of a dirt patch. The upgraded room had the view of the A/C units. Can they at least decorate the roof top with artwork or something? My favorite part of the hotel room was the bathtub. I basically took multiple baths a day. I went to MGM and got scented bubble bath salts. There are a lot of restaurants that are mostly $$$-$$$$. Miami Slice was good - we kept our leftovers in the fridge and it actually tasted good cold. Chez Bon Bon was my go-to place for interesting crafted coffees (lots of lavender choices for a lavender-lover) and a box of pastries with nice presentation for gifts. The workers were also very friendly. La Cote was also pretty good - I loved the watermelon salad and our server, Joey, gave lots of good suggestions and made interesting conversation. The pools at Fontainebleu were rated highly by Youtubers. I can't say they are my favorite. We went at the end of August and the heat was so intense. I think the glass windows of the hotel reflect back down onto the pool area. The pools aren't deep, which I guess is good for kids, but this isn't really the family-oriented hotel. So on Saturday afternoon, the pool area was full of people standing in the pool with the water at waist level. I guess this is what people like to do at pools - stand in it. Who swims these days? The pool is so shallow and they have 4 life guards sitting there. Watching you stand. The workers at the hotel were all mostly friendly when you approach them. But a lot of the staff kind of just do their own thing. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas, but it's kind of a stark contrast after mostly going to normal hotels for the last few decades. Getting transport to Fontainebleu was convenient. We were able to get a Zuke's. We also walked to the Bellagio from Fontainebleu at midnight when it was cooler. FYI Zuke's stops around 11-12am. Also right across the street is Tacos El Gordo which was featured on a Netflix Taco documentary. It had super long lines around 10pm. The fresh tortillas were very good and it was chaotic, but a good experience. There's also another one by the airport that might be less busy. I don't think my stay at Fontainebleu was so amazing. I think the pools at Ceasar's was better. MGM looked like more fun (and family-friendly) and less ritzy. This hotel looked like it's catering more to the clubbing age group, which I'm not in. However, Fontainebleu did seem to have less smoke smell than MGM or Ceasar's. If you have a lot of money to splurge and spending money makes you feel good, this is the place to go. If you're more of a deal-hunter who likes to get a good bang-for-your-buck, then maybe come if you have some offers or coupons from third parties.

Construction began in 2007, but faced setbacks including the Great Recession and later the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing its history, I was eager to experience a guest stay. Booking & Check-in:: I booked my room through a travel aggregation website. Upon arrival, the front desk quickly found my reservation. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The clerk was both friendly and helpful. The main lobby is cavernous, with decor that's simple yet elegant. It creates an impression. Room Quality:: The Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023; but the room's furniture was well-kept, and free from excessive wear that might hint at heavy use. The carpet looked fresh, with no stains or tears in sight. Regarding the bed, the sheets were crisp and bright white. The mattress, pillows and duvet were comfortable. Bathrooms often show the most wear and tear, but this one was pristine. It was spacious. The layout was well-arranged. The towels looked like new, with a heavy pile and a crisp, bright white color. Sometimes when I travel, I like a room that's comfortable, but not so luxurious it makes me want to stay in all day. Other times, I want a inviting space to relax in, and the rooms here fit that bill perfectly. I found the décor, color palette, and furnishings appealing. I also think many hotel rooms lack sufficient lighting, but here there's plenty of it, along with the option to adjust it to your liking. Common Space:: Although I didn't use them myself, I was surprised to learn while walking the grounds that there are seven swimming pools on the premises. I did, however, enjoy some of the gaming options on site, as well as several of the restaurants.

    So many things can be said about this property. For me, it's "crowded excellence"…read more There is a lot to love about this place. The beds are some of the best I think I have ever been in. The pillows are soft, the mattress feels like a cloud and the products are really nice and plush. It's no wonder so many people want to stay here. Service overall was good. Our front desk agent Gerard was a highlight. Really friendly and helpful in understanding our benefits we got with our room. Also gave us some recommendations for place to go and try as well. However, we had issues in service among other places in the property, notably the bell desk. We did have about a 2 hour delay before our room was ready so we dropped our stuff with the bell desk. The setup is weird, there is an inside person and people outside. It seems like everything goes through the outside people, we could only drop our stuff with them and pick our stuff up at checkout, we have no idea what the inside guy did except to direct us outside. Also, by the time our room was ready, we couldn't even pick up the stuff at the bell desk, only delivered to the room. It said it would take 15 minutes but we had to call and because it was "so busy" we had to wait almost an hour for it. The massive sprawling casino has a lot of games to play and a lot of different venues for everyone. Minimums are high for table games (as expected) but there is still something for everyone to play. Cocktail service was slow at times, but Sandra was friendly and quick as well as made some delicious cocktails. Overall, it really is a nice property with some great stuff. But it does feel like it doesn't know how to properly control crowds and leaving you like you were truly at a 5 star resort.

There's a separate check-in area for The Reserve which I really liked. It was not crowded at all. Upon checkin, they gave me a coconut macaroon which was amazing! I did like that special touch. There are separate elevators going to the Reserve Rooms. However, it is still shared with some of the upper floors from Park MGM. I know that other hotels on the strip have separate elevators exclusively for separate parts of the hotel. I really enjoyed my Atelier room. It was a little bit larger than the standard room. The distinguishing factor about this room is really the bathtub in the room. However, the bathtub itself seems to be a liability for the hotel. I have to say that someone can easily slip and fall in the bathtub. Use extreme caution when using the bathtub. I loved the European french decor. The toilet was a little far away from the bed, but I suppose that is good if you are traveling with somone so when they went to the restroom, it would be less noticable (more privacy, less noise). Since they are hardwood floors, I can hear chairs being moved around from the rooms above me during my stay. I was a little bit irked. Other than that, my stay was quite enjoyable at The Reserve.

    A nice stay. I…read morestayed at The Reserve at Park MGM for two nights and had a pretty good time. I was not wowed by anything in particular, but I still enjoyed my stay. The lobby where we checked in was super dark and moody. There was a lot of seating and nice decor. It was chilly in there which felt like a nice escape from the Vegas heat. It was relatively quick for us to get checked in and receive our keys. This dark and dramatic theme is carried throughout the hotel and to the guest room areas too. We were put in Rm 30-24, which we converted into an adjoining room with Suite 30-22. Our room felt small to me. The bed takes up the majority of the room with little walking space. There is a desk, flat screen TV, sofa, and small wardrobe. The closet is pretty spacious and has some robes, slippers, and a steamer. The sofa was very stiff and honestly looked a bit dingy. There were crumbs on the seat and the pillows were incredibly old and limp. I was hesitant to sit on it! The closet felt disproportionately large for the room. I would have preferred a smaller closet to have more space in the room itself. The rooms and hallways are all so dark. There is no overhead lighting, only tiny lamps throughout the room. I am personally not a fan of this as it made the room feel even smaller and claustrophobic. I understand they are trying to make it feel ambient and moody, but the way it was presented felt more like sleeping in a cave. Inside the closet was the brightest area of the hotel! If you choose to have a conjoined room, it is impractical to keep the doors open. When the adjoining doors are open, it is impossible to use the doors facing the hallway. Everything was cramped and the doors were constantly banging against each other. The bathroom was nice with a spacious shower. The water pressure was slightly better than average, but not super strong. They provided the usual amenities: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, cotton swabs + cotton pads, makeup remover wipes, and a shower cap. I must say, the shampoo and conditioner were spectacular. My hair felt super soft and had no frizz when it dried. It smelled very nice too. The rest of the hotel was just okay. There is not much to do besides lay at the pool and gamble. It is pretty quiet and laid-back. That being said, the casino was pretty small. I did like that it was non-smoking though so it was not suffocating to walk through it. I enjoyed the pool area. Despite it being a hot summer day, there was plenty of seating and lounge chairs available. The music the DJ was playing was really good and the pool was super chilly. This is definitely not my first choice for a Vegas hotel but I could stay here again.

However, for those of us who come to Vegas often, staying at those hotels often means higher prices and headaches with navigating around the busy traffic. Having stayed at most of the larger hotels (The Luxor, The Bellagio, Encore at Wynn, Park MGM etc) I've had my fill of the dazzling lights and boisterous crowds. I do recommend you try these hotels at least a few times to truly soak in the bustle of Las Vegas night life. For me, I prefer to stay adjacent to, but not within, The Strip. This way, I can have some comfort in a quieter setting and can call an uber at any moment to meet friends along The Strip. This was the reason I chose Nirvana Hotel. Situated right next to The Luxor and The Mandalay Bay, it is both affordable and close to the attractions I come to Vegas for. The exterior is a bit off-putting at first. You aren't greeted with the pristine fountained welcome that you expect from Vegas--the wonderful precession of marble floors, the lush green plants, the ornate chandeliers. The main check-in station is inside the souvenir shop which resembles that of a run down gas station. Service is quick and the check-in process is painless. Their doors all use numbers so you don't have to worry about misplacing your card. Just don't get so drunk you forget! The room itself is very humble: queen bed, LG tv, two night stands, a small fridge, and a walk-in shower. Clean, organized, and arranged professionally. I will definitely stay here again. Connie was at the reception and welcomed me warmly. Parking is free. That's right. FREE. For your entire duration of stay.

Free coffee up in the front office with package cookies They have a mini fridge in the room. I was gone early in the morning and was back late The minus was street noise from construction and I was there on trash day so the trash truck backing up at 5:50 Am was an early morning wake up call ( I needed to be up at that time anyways) No house keeping while for my two day stay I would be happy to stay here again
